Auction result misses estimated price range

In May this year a collector was able to acquire the work Cicada by Jasper Johns for USD 6,826,000.00 (€ 6,406,983.29). This price was achieved in the auction Masterpieces from the S.I. Newhouse Collection at Christies in New York and was even below the estimate range of USD 7,000,000.00 – 10,000,000.00 set by the auction house. Admittedly, works by Jasper Johns have also been auctioned for a multiple of this price - according to our records, the highest result so far was achieved by the work Small False Start in November last year with an auction result of USD 55,350,000.00 (€ 53,618,134.26).

Auktionsergebnis verfehlt die Schätzpreisspanne

Im Mai diesen Jahres konnte ein Sammler die Arbeit Cicada von Jasper Johns für USD 6.826.000,00 (€ 6.406.983,29) erwerben. Dieser Preis wurde in der Auktion Masterpieces from the S.I. Newhouse Collection bei Christies in New York erzielt und lag noch unterhalb der von dem Auktionshaus angesetzten Schätzpreisspanne von USD 7.000.000,00 – 10.000.000,00. Freilich wurden Arbeiten von Jasper Johns auch schon für ein Vielfaches dieses Preises versteigert – das bisher höchste Ergebnis erzielte nach unseren Aufzeichnungen die Arbeit Small False Start im November letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 55.350.000,00 (€ 53.618.134,26).
